Kristian Hollingshead

Kristian Hollingshead serves as a key procurement professional within the FA2543 460 Cons agency of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Responsible for managing acquisitions in facility construction and operational support systems, Hollingshead oversees contracts for commercial and institutional building construction, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, and electrical installations. Their work ensures that base facilities remain compliant, resilient, and fully operational to sustain Air Force readiness. Hollingshead’s portfolio emphasizes complex, multi-disciplinary construction and maintenance services requiring coordination across engineering, environmental, and safety standards. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Hollingshead engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, including general contractors, specialty trades, and systems integrators capable of delivering turnkey facility upgrades. Working relationships are typically performance-based, with a focus on compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards, quality assurance protocols, and timely delivery of mission-essential infrastructure. The procurement approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and adherence to military construction specifications. Hollingshead demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 31.3% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity. Although no specific socioeconomic set-asides like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant, the consistent allocation to small businesses underscores a strategic alignment with DoD goals for inclusive contracting. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 561621 for security systems services, with notable activity in food service contracting (722310), solid waste collection (562111), computer storage device manufacturing (334112), and physician offices (621111). This reflects a broad operational support mandate, balancing facility infrastructure with essential garrison services to maintain base functionality and personnel readiness.
